I want RPG products back here on AO. This VD company is a joke and even more funny considering why it was started in the first place. Way to show Rogue up. Lol.

The fact that there has not been any action by the mod team just sucks. This company/side show operation has has pathetic communication for years now. Where the hell are you at mod team? VD must be a BEO regular other wise there would be something done.

So this guy got over a grand in preorder money. I'm tryi g to remember the amount and number of people needed to be defrauded before the FTC will get involved with charges.

Yep looked it up, Someone could file for criminal charges. The amount may make it a felony to.

WOW !!!!!! grab my popcorn this cheese is good. Such a shame VD was a cool looking brand lucky I sold all my stuff before the owner trashed the name.

VD stuff is still quality and meets AGD specs every time. I'll rock my Noxious rail and VD snatch grip all day, just like guys will rock their Punisher custom markers, Noxx55 creations, Gruntbull anno, etc. If I had more VD parts, I'd use them too. If you're buying this stuff simply for the name... well

I'm paid in full and waiting on a V1 AND I'm a BEO member

I haven't heard from Mongoose like everyone else, so there isn't any special treatment for me because we're BEO, MCB, PbN members. Having been a part of some of the more recent pre-order, I know the risks... doesn't mean I'm not disappointed or annoyed.

.

A reoccurring issue?

Has this issue occurred frequently with VD? I have seen some of their stuff on Ebay and liked some of it but just want to be sure what I am dealing with if one of their pre-buys come up again. I know pre-buy issues have come up before just want to know if VD is a repeat offender.

Personally I suggest to avoid this company at all costs. I certainly regret giving mongoose even a cent, let alone $1000.

really? because whoever did his ano dropped the ball hard (that or mongoose literally dropped the parts) on every piece of junk he's sent me. And I'm pretty sure AGD spec' doesnt include a random missing chunk of aluminium in my nox rail...

on a side note: I am also a BEO member and waiting for a V2 that I sent a deposit for and have yet to even see my name updated on the pre-orde list...........

I am prepared to wait as pre-orders have now normally started to go this route,

however, since this has become the norm this will be the last pre-order I will be doing were a deposit is required as situations like this have now become more common place, and I hope that dealers will start perhaps making some product first then selling them after they are finished......one could only hope.....

I dont want to read the excuses from VD, I would just like to see Mongoose at least post an updated pre-order list and give a realistic delivery date for the V1 and possibly the V2 I sent a deposit for.......

We are not out of money!
we are still working on getting everything finished.
We DID run into roadblocks......but we have not stopped or even slowed down.

Here's an update for everyone.

The Hydro company we used to do all of our hydro went out of business with our money and parts. the company was called CRC Hydrographics.....after months of looking for them and trying to get in contact i finally found out they were purchased by another company.
I spoke with the new owner and thankfully they had all my parts. He promised me to finish them ASAP and send my way.
This order will take care of everyone that is waiting on Hydro parts.

BODIES: we have two designs still left to finish.....We only have 5 total bodies that are sold and customers are waiting.....i am thinking about not making these and refunding the customers their complete payments......If your waiting on a Helium or Syclone Body please post up and let me know your thoughts on this......if your willing to wait a lil longer i can get these finished. At this point i will totally understand if you don't wanna wait another day.

V.1's are finished and is expected to start shipping next week.
V.2's and V.3's are still in production and will be finished.

Spazmok : I will be shipping everything i have of yours and will refund you 100% of your payments made "For parts not shipped". After reading your comments i have come to the conclusion that we do not need your business....There was nothing wrong with your parts...and when i asked for photos you never supplied them......I have offered to ship out everything i had here many times...and you denied only so you can complain later.

I do apologize for not posting here as often as i should....i plan on changing that and spending more time on this forum. Please dont take my absence as a sign of us not doing anything..if anything its more because im spending more time getting things finished and to you rather then talking about it.

As a very small Company we have run into all kinds of problems and issues........rather then throwing up our hands we are fighting through it and learning as we go. For those Customers that have been patient in a time where they didn't need to be...you are greatly appreciated and will be well compensated.

For those inquiring about us selling on EBAY....yes, we are selling the rest of our inventory "that's the point right?" We dont have much left, and we need to make room for our new parts "No More preorders"

Also...if you wanna trash us for our customer service and/or lack of communication, thats fair and i would agree thats something we need to correct......but dont trash our products! They all work and look good doing it

If i missed updating any parts please post up.....if u have a question please post up......if your post sounds like a 5th grader "Spazmok" you will be ignored, im not here to argue with anyone...just get you what you paid for!

I'd like to say thank you for getting back to us! While the lack of communication was frustrating I'm glad to hear that you're rectifying it and that things are moving along. I look forward to receiving my V1 Foregrip!
